Coalition Of The Bribed In Ivory Coast

What?  France has 5000 troops in Ivroy Coast, Africa, to protect their 14,000 citizens.  And, the UN has 6,240 blue-helmeted United Nations peacekeepers there as well. 

OK, aren't the French worried about world opinion, for sending their troops into a foreign country?  And what great support, more than their own, they're getting from the United Nations!   The oil-for-food bribery scheme that Kofi handed to Saddam, who enlisted Jacques René Chirac has all sorts of ramifications I guess.  Like, how many blue helments are in Sudan right now?  ZERO  That's because they would only be helping Africans, Christian Africans, as if they're disposable or something.  But to help the French?  No problem.

More French Troops Are Sent to Ivory Coast as Violence Flares. France sent 600 more troops to Ivory Coast's commercial capital, Abijan, as mobs rampaged against French expatriates. By By SOMINI SENGUPTA. [NYT > Home Page]
